The Anti-Japanese War Begins with the Northeast Army

Old Zhang is digging a big hole, and Little Zhang is going to enter the customs...

At present, he is in the same position as Zhang Zuoxiang; and except for the commander-in-chief Han Qing, Jiang Cheng now has a very high reputation in the Northeast Army. Even Sun Jiunian from Fengtian Province regards him as a superior who is willing to obey his orders.

Thinking of this, he turned around suddenly and shouted loudly toward the gate: "Everyone listen up, go and raid the Japs' house!"

…………

Fifteen minutes later, Jiang Cheng personally led hundreds of Heilongjiang Province soldiers and headed straight for the Japanese Consulate in Qiqihar.

Fully armed and looking majestic, every soldier carried a murderous aura, and they surrounded the entire consulate with loaded submachine guns.

The Japanese side was shocked!

Since the troops were stationed in many places in the Northeast, they were the only ones who took the initiative to provoke. Not to mention that China took the initiative, it was rare for them to even fight back.
Now, these people are - crazy!?
However, they had not yet woken up from the shock of imagining that the Chinese were weak and incompetent. When confronting those alert Japanese soldiers, Jiang Cheng suddenly pulled out his Browning, pointed it at the sky and fired two shots.

"Damn Chinese people, how dare they challenge the Empire!"

"Come on, warriors of the empire, now is the time for you to pledge your loyalty to His Majesty the Emperor. Come together... and kill these Chinese bastards!"

As a roar was heard in the consulate compound, several Japanese soldiers armed with Type 38 rifles ran out and quickly confronted the Heilongjiang provincial guards.

But they also knew that there was a gap between the two sides, whether in terms of numbers or weapons.

"Haha, you're pretty brave huh?"

Jiang Chenghe held his elbows and sneered, then switched to Japanese and said to the leading Japanese sergeant, "I'll give you five minutes to call out the bastards on your Japanese side who are in charge to see me!"

These provocative and harsh words were spoken in such a cold and harsh tone that made the Japanese soldiers' blood boil... But just as the Japanese soldiers' faces darkened, Gao Mu Huitai ran out of the door in a panic.

"Commander Jiang, what are you doing?"

Seeing that his soldiers were having a hard time restraining themselves, the consul from Qiqihar quickly shouted for everyone to lay down their weapons, smiling nervously and saying, "If you have any instructions, why don't you..."

Before he could finish his words, Jiang Cheng stepped forward with Browning in his arms: "I don't care whether you contact Honjo Shigeru or Uehara Yusaku, I want to hear the news that the women of my Jiang Mansion have been sent back tonight--"

"If she gets hurt, haha, I guarantee that all the Japanese in Qiqihar... no, all the Japanese in Heilongjiang will be buried with her!"

Looking back at this man, Gao Muhui was extremely nervous. He knew very well that the other party would definitely be able to do this -

Moreover, he will most likely start first.

"I, I don't understand what you are saying,"

Seeing that Jiang Cheng suddenly looked a little more stern, Gao Muhuita quickly added, "But-but please give me some time, I will contact the Kwantung Army Headquarters right away!"

Jiang Cheng gave him a cold look and gave an order to Han Ming beside him to blockade the entire city and cut off electricity to the Japanese community.

"If she doesn't get home before eight o'clock tonight, then I will execute one Japanese every hour."

Jiang Cheng sneered and patted the other's trembling shoulders, "Hurry up, Mr. Gao Mu."

…………The news that the governor of Jilin had blockaded Qiqihar and threatened the consulate with all the Japanese in the city was transmitted to the Kwantung Army Headquarters in Lushun at almost as fast as a blink of an eye.

Uehara Yusaku almost jumped up on the spot, cursing Jiang Cheng for being such a bastard for provoking the Empire at this time—

"Uehara-kun, I think this man is a huge threat to the empire. We should get rid of him as soon as possible!"

Yamaki Takiichi, who had already retreated from the interior to the exterior of the Great Wall, suggested, "I think it is time for us to prepare for the second 'Huanggutun Incident'."

When the Marshal was still in power, Yamaki Takiichi and Uesugi Yasuyuki planned to win over the young governor, but after failing, they were punished by their superiors and began to hate Jiang Cheng and wanted to get rid of him as soon as possible.

"Can you kill him?"

Uehara Yusaku was extremely annoyed by this reckless behavior. He glared at his subordinates who were kneeling around the tatami mats. "Humph, the Huanggutun incident seemed to be very successful, but how many hidden dangers did the subsequent handling leave for the empire?"

"Putting everything aside, do you have any way to continue to let the Northeast carry out the intentions and agreements reached with Zhang before?"

His words, which were no different from a reprimand, made everyone unconsciously avoid this top official.

They originally planned and assassinated Lao Zhang in order to continue to infiltrate the Northeast, support or even use force to force Xiao Zhang to submit and become their new "Northeast spokesperson."

However, after Lao Zhang's death, Fengtian and any other area outside the Great Wall remained stable;
Not only that, they also turned from being pro-Japanese to being pro-Nanjing... The Northeast no longer recognized any of the conditions that had been negotiated before.

Seeing that all his subordinates were silent, Uehara Yusaku even felt a little proud, but he continued in a scolding tone: "You all know that Jiang Cheng had borrowed a batch of money from us before."

"If we kill him, who will execute these repayments?"

He sneered and continued, "His son, or his women?"

Uesugi Yasushi thought for a moment before he said slowly, "Commander Uehara, if you think that you can collect the debts if Jiang Cheng is alive, you are really naive."

"I've heard for a long time that Jiang Cheng intends to delay or even deny the debt—"

Interrupting him with dissatisfaction, Uehara Yusaku said coldly: "Let's not talk about the debt first... Isn't the most important thing for us now to solve the current problem?"

"Jiang Cheng has led his soldiers to surround the consulate in Qiqihar. He also threatened that if the missing women in his family are not sent back before 8 o'clock tonight, he will execute a Japanese expatriate every hour."

A Japanese officer said angrily: "I don't think this Jiang guy dares!"

But no one responded.

They knew clearly in their hearts: with Jiang Cheng's current strength and the large amount of military power in his hands, he could do it if he said it!
"What's the point of saying such cruel words now? Jiang Cheng will definitely dare to kill someone."

Uehara Yusaku said in a cold tone, "I think this matter is best handled by peaceful means... At present, we do not have the ability to send more troops to Qiqihar."

This is absolutely true.

As the capital of the Black Province, their garrison nearby was hacked, and the murderer has not been tracked down so far;

If they wanted to send troops to Qiqihar to "maintain stability", they would have to cross Fengtian and Jilin, and then travel a long distance to the capital of Heilongjiang Province. (End of this chapter)
